• Pozzo della Cava - A captivating subterranean exploration in Orvieto’s medieval quarter, featuring chambers that reveal Etruscan, Medieval, and Renaissance relics, all uncovered by the dedicated efforts of the owning family. The well itself is an immense cavity in the volcanic rock, carved out by Pope Clement VII from 1527 to 1530, enlarging an existing Etruscan well; it was sealed off from the public in 1646 and lay forgotten for centuries. Within the nine surrounding grottos, visitors can also discover a medieval ceramics studio replete with majolica pieces and the tools of potters, several small medieval refuse pits, an Etruscan reservoir, a medieval storeroom for wine, and the vestiges of Etruscan funerary chambers.
